Hot Toys – MMS126 - Predator 2: Guardian Predator(2010 Toy Fairs Exc) spec

[FlyAndFight]

I hadn't checked the prices on ebay for this one, as I didn't think of picking it up until this announcement. But I'm sure it's quite high.

I wasn't too fond of the original body but being the last one done, I took a shot at adding it to my collection. But I was too slow on the draw...

 

[comiclover47]

[Mannequin]

Did anyone even got a distress message?

I wrote sideshow and here was their response:

Yeah ebay your looking at 400 or so.I have him and its not worth that price.He is awesome to look at ,but the p1 is cooler looking to me.A new classic would run around 200 and for that price you can buy 2.

You got that message a couple of days ago? But I received the following message on Wednesday, and the newsletter was yesterday. How could they answer that before?

I didn't get any of those messages either. Wonder on what basis they where send out.

I am sorry I read the wrong email. No, I didn't get that message.

Ok, I was finding it weird that they would send that message before the newsletter .

As for the message from Sideshow that I posted, it was sent only to people that have Guardian Predator on wait list.

 

[agentofchaos73]

I got the "too bad" email today, also. Oh well. Would have been nice, but I still don't regret selling my original off to get my P1.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

SSC just posted an update on the distressed items on their FB site. Of course, the pred was gone.

I sent an email about it to and got one back today that I didn't get it would have been nice if they had more than one.

 

[capellamusic]

I wonder if we'll see it on eBay soon for a higher price . I hope instead that whomever got it will actually keep it.

 

[halfbaked1969]

waiting for this pred to be delivered but think i heard horrific news he sent it by DHL global mail and not int airmail as stated.Looks like its now my xmas pressy by the time that services delivers.
Actually i have no idea about dhl globalmail but i never see it offered anywhere and beings the postage was free im not expecting ems type service.The wait for a hot toys pred always goes on longer for me than any other figures i order,i have him on waitlist but kind of given up now

 

[The Crow 2011]

Does anyone know where this can be acquired for a decent price?

 

[greygoose]

What's your decent price? Your looking at $500 upwards on eBay.

 

[prefused]

didn't a bunch of people just get some from the waitlist?

 

[FlyAndFight]

Not a bunch but just one lucky person. The box was damaged but the figure supposedly mint.
